As it were, Cruz was one of many in Congress approached by reporters today for their thoughts on the subject. Weekly Standard Congressional reporter Haley Byrd popped the question, and the Senator had a very noticeable hesitation (one which lasted 18 seconds, to be precise), before arriving at this non-answer:

“That’s not a constitutional area I’ve studied so I will withhold judgement.”

I guess Cruz hoped that some quality audio of the hustle and bustle inside Congress would’ve been enough to cover for his freeze. Certainly, Cruz didn’t hesitate nearly this much the last time Trump decided to use his pardon power.

Bravo! @realDonaldTrump Dinesh was the subject of a political prosecution, brazenly targeted by the Obama administration bc of his political views. And he’s a powerful voice for freedom, systematically dismantling the lies of the Left—which is why they hate him. This is Justice. https://t.co/cGHzcgwSnK
